Auckland to Cairns: Bays, Peaks and Reefs

Dive into two incredible countries on one unforgettable journey, with optional experiences to tailor your trip, your way. Choose to snorkel the dazzling Great Barrier Reef in Australia, walk in the footsteps of hobbits on the iconic Hobbiton Movie Set, and sip fine wines in Queenstown. Feel the rush jet-boating down the Shotover River or take to the skies for breathtaking views of Mt. Cook. In Australia, choose to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, hop on a train to explore a rainforest village, and watch the sun dip behind the awe-inspiring Uluru. The adventure is yours to design, one epic choice at a time.
